Lead actor Daniel Craig has been spotted filming a scene for the upcoming 007 movie around Spitalfields area in London, where he is seen sitting on the back seat of the tough-looking SUV.

Daniel Craig has been caught on camera sitting inside a black Range Rover on the set of "Skyfall" in London. The English hunk was spotted filming a scene around London's Spitalfields area last Saturday, January 28. Instead of driving James Bond's classic Aston Martin car, the actor was seen being chauffeured on the back seat of the tough-looking SUV.

In addition to the picture, an on-set video from the anticipated 007 movie has been unleashed via FlyNet Pictures. The footage gives a look at the "self driving" Range Rover being controlled by a stuntman in a seat on the roof of the SUV. The scene sparked speculation that there might be some 007-style gadgetry at play.

The twenty-third James Bond film has already taken its principal photography in several spots in England, including Canary Wharf and Charing Cross, Bognor Regis and Pinewood Studios. The movie was originally planned to be shot in exotic locations like Bali, India and China, but the plans were scrapped reportedly due to "technical and financial problems."

Craig is set to reprise his role as the flamboyant MI6 agent. In "Skyfall", his loyalty to M is tested as M's past comes back to haunt her. When MI6 comes under attack, Bond must track down and destroy the threat no matter how personal the cost is.
